(&) THE SAN FRANCISCO CALIL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2 D = JAPAN AND - HAWAI ARE N ACCORD Arbitration Protocgl to Be Signed Very Soon. CONCESSIONS HAVE BEEN MADE. As Soon as Convened the Island Sen=ate Will Take Up Annexation. TROUBLE IN STORE OVER CITIZENSHIP. Anti-Annexation Sentimant Grows In Forc» Daly and in N.ost Unexp:cted Quarters. Correspondence of THE CALL HONOLULU, Hawai, Oct. 14—The protocol for arbitration between Hawaii and Japan is at last on the eve of being signed. Minister Cooper stated this morning cept with a single amendment, ge of verbiage, every- had been agreed upon satisfac- to the Hawaiian contention. All points in discussion between the two Gov- ernments, without any reservations what- tori ever, st desired by Japan, are to be submitted to the arbitration of three jurists of international fame. Japan de- sired the King of the Belgians, but the Hawailan Government suggested that as the points at issue were practically legal ones, it would be far better to have them decided by men experienced in interna- tional law, and somewhat reiuctantly per- haps, even this request has been acceced to. The concessions made by the Japanese prove the desire of that Government 10 uvoid any misconceptions of their desire to remain friendly to Hawaii and the United States. The character of unfriend- liness has unjastly been imputed to them for the purpose of aiding the annexation- ists in their raid upon Hawaii. The ac- tion of the Japznese Government in ac- ceding fo Hawaii’s views in the matter of arbitration should be regarded as emi- nently amicable in intention and honor- conduct. ard to the hour of annexation oper states he fully believes that the Sznate will take the matter up as £oon as convened, in accordance with the understanding, and that before the close of the year Hawaii will be annexed and the joint commission be at work formu- lating the laws for Hawaiian governance and relieving its rulersof all further re- sponsibilities. His views, it is said, are not in sccord with those of Minister Hatch or ex-Minister W. R. Castle, both of whom are reported to have expressed a fear that debate will lead to a prolonged delay. Owing to a declaration or ruling by the British Foreign Office in regard to deniza- tion papers granted to British subjects the Government has decided to issue no more denization papers to British sub- jects until their status can be better de- termined. This is both inconvenient and annoying to many, but it is unavoidable, The joint commission will have con- siderable trouble about this very question of citizenship and the privileze of the dranchise. They will prove to be sources of trouble and dissatisfaction in many ways, for until the reign of the oligarchy Hawaii was somewhat lenient, lax ana accommodating in such matters and a large number of peopla owed dual alle- ‘iances, practically equivalent to none or of the same nature as taxsnirkers dodg- ing from one State to another as asce:s- ment lime comes around. In spite of the contrary statements of the annexation journals, the Portuguese ®s a unit ask for—demend would be a more truthful word—ihe full rights of American citiz:'nship coupled with the iranchbise. They, hke the natives, want the Iranchise for political purposes, as do the foreigners. . When annexation comes these islands will become a nuisance to the United States politically. If the franchise is ex- tended to its newly made American ci zens ther> will be no equal divisions into party ranks, except to “down the mission- aries,” but invariably a large majority against a small muncrity. If there is no franchise, or but a restricied one, then there will have to be a garrison town or an armed ship on every isiand and at every port. When the new Government is formed it must necessarily bea very strong one, much stronger, in fact, than our present arwed olizarchy, for the antis annexation sentiment is growing in force daily, and in most unexpected .quariers and secretly, As the time appears to approach for the dissolution of Hawail's independence, many are beginning to waver in their al- ligiance to the cause of annexation on the ground that they bave been deceived. They anticipated being. at once received with open arms as a State of the great Union and not as a niere setilement to be governed by a system of cross between a Territory and a_penal colony. We Lave been accustomed to govern ourselves in sccordance with our own. judgment, and 10 have a strange whip hand over us may turn us into a balky team on a down grade, ending with a wrecked rig and heavy damages to pay. THAT CASE OF “HERESY.” Comment of the Eiman Register on the Installation of Rev. J. A. Cru- zan of Berkeley. BOSTON, Oct. 2L.—Tue Christian Regis- ter to-day says: ‘“‘Anotherflagrant caseof heresy’ in California is exposed with quite proper spirit by the Occident, the Presbyterian paper of San Francisco. It appears that a council of Trinitarian Con- gregationalists was callea in September 10 consider the vropriety of instaliing Rev. J. A. Cruzan, a pastor of a church at Berkeley. Mr. Cruzan bimself disclaims both orthodoxy and Unitarianism. “‘As most of the leading pastors of San Francisco, Oakland and eisewhere about the bay were present, the Pacific Theo- logical Seminary being represented by its president, Dr. J. K. McLean, and as the candidate made his profession ol faith before a church full of people, it will be passing strange if the action of the council should meet no challenge or prote from within the lines. Yet Dr. Cruzan’s case is hardly exceptional. Huadreds of ministers, and probably thousands, in ali denominations, with open Bibies, open minds and tbe light of God shining around and within, are being forced to similar cogeclusions. Why cannot the ervalive brethren recognize in this wide theological upieaval that promised ‘shaking of ail things’ which must pre- pan-h e way for 4 new heaven aud new earl e Sy SUES THE SELIGMANS. Uncle Dick Thompson Wants About Forty Thousand Dollars From the Bankers. NEW YORK, Oct. 21 —The bank- ing nrm of Seligman Bros. has a big lawsuit on its hands. The plaintiff is the veneraole R chard W. Thompson, former Secretary of the Navy. Colonel Robert G. Ingersol! and his legal associate, Alford Coale, as counsel for Mr. Thompson, sue | the Seligmaus in the nominai sum of $40, 000. $15 009, with interest at 6 per cent from 1885. In the complaint filed with the Clerk of the United States Circuit Court it is re- cited that Mr, Thompson came to New York shortly after his retirement from the Cabinet of Pres dent Hayes in 188l Oune of Mr. Thompson's closest friends was the late Jesse Seligman, head of the house. Mr. Thompson kept an account with the firm, his average deposit being between $25,000 and $30,000. It is claimea Jesse Selieman weunt to him one day in 1884 and offered him a permanent invest- ment that would bring gocd results, It was stock in the Aztec Land and Cattle Company, which owned immense tracts of land in Arizona and numerous cattle. Mr. Thomp-son agreed to invest $15,000, and accordingly, he claims, that sum wa: deducted from his account with the bank, and he supposed himseif owner of 150 shares of the company’s stock. After a time Thompson removed to his old home in Indiana. He neard nothing further of his investment, and suddenly woke to the fact that he had no stock tificate to show he had spent $15,000. Therefore he wrote the Seligmans, buat Zot no satisiaciion, and recently he ciaims i he looked up the Aziec Land and Cattle Company’s affairs, and discovered that wiiile the company, the land and the cattle really exisied thestcck had nocom- mercial value and was not listed.

Rare Day for Favorites, All but Two Choices Landing the Coin. V.salla Again Downs Chico In the Special Trot—Ostisr Joe Is Scratched. Special Dispatchjio THE CALL. 1.0S ANGELES, Oct. 21.—The card this afternoon was quite an improvement over the speckled one of yesterday ana race- poers again turned outin large numbers. The programme was a mixed one, two trotting and four running events being down for decision. The weather was balmy and cool, and while a too liberal use of the sprinkling-cart made the track cuppy for the harness horses, the gallop- ers were in their element. 1t was a rare day jor fayorite players, but two choices landing ihe coin. V- , converted to a trotter, again downea Chico in the special trot, causing much confusion among learned on Carlyie Carne, though, was honey from the comb in the 2:15 trot, driven with McDowell's usual skill. The race for maiden two-year- olds wes a warm one, E] S8alado scamper- ing away with his field. Polish led a good bunch out at odds of 7to 1, and Grady and Howard took their respective races off ihe reel. The special trot did not arouse much in‘erest. Before the first heat Chico :old a 2 to 1 choice over the field, but after | Visalia took the opening heat in 2:16 the betting shifted In favor of the Visalia mare. In thesecond heat Visalia made a break at the turn, and Chico, cverbaunling the erratic Joe in the stretch, won the heat cleverly by less than a length. Tne heat-winner once moresold favorite, bringing 20, with the field in good de- mand at 12. Joe once more led until after passing the far turn, where Vicalia assum+d command, taking the heat easily, with Chico 1n second position. Another game of seesaw ensuel. Vi- salia next had first call in tne betting, and, making a disastrous break at tne turn, ended up in the last place, the heat going to Chico. Coming out for the trial brush, Visalia sold a 20 to 13 choice over the other three starters, and in a hard drive b=at Cuico over the line in a short head in 2:163{ | The 2:15 trot appeared a good thing on paper for the gray bhorse, Cariyle Carne, and going for 20, but 8 could be secured for Peko, Dr. Leek and Antrima, selling as the field. The favorite dropped the first heat, finishing third to Pcko and Antrima, but took the next three with- out effort, not having 1o step faster than 2:15. The track was now given up to the run- ners. The maiden two-year-old scramble drew out a fieid of ten, with the Baldwin pair, El Salado snd Palo Blanco, ruling | w arm 9 10 10 favorites in the betting. EI | Salado proved himself quite a shilty youngster, for he romped in an easy win- ner from Sosocoi, which gelding was packed from Z0to8. Amaze finished in the show. The five and a half furlong spin was a rattiing betting affair. Roadwarmer was always a favorite, with a stiff playing going into the books on Alvarado, Sea Spray, Polish and Jim Bozems=n. The odds against the Iatter were swipeda from 15 and 20 down to 6. After a delay of over thirty minutes at the post, caused by the unruly antics of Alvarado and Pescador, the bunch was finally dispstched. Hen- nessy, on Bozeman, quickly showed in front, and led until within a six eenth from the wire, where Polish got up unaer | Wilson’s persuasive urging aud beat Hen- | nes-v’s mount out less than alength in :07{. Masoero was third, under restraint. Tue Southern California stake, over a mile and a furiong, worth $700, was de- prived of all interest by ths scratchin - of Ostler Joe. Grady was then a 110 5 fa- vorite and led the only other starters, Lit- tle Cripple and Vishun, past the judges under wraps in 1:5514. A cheap seven-iuriong run concluded the sport. Howard fell into a soit spot, and at odds of 210 5 disposed of his com- | pany in a gallop, McFarlane, with 10 to 1| about him, downing the neavily backed | Marcie A forthe place.

They Freely Express the Opinion That the Prisoner Will B3 Acquitted. Special Dispatch to Tie CALL SAN JOSE, Oct. 21.—Some strong testi- mony in support of Dan Dutcher’s plea of killing Bchofield to protect Mrs. Scho- field’s life was given this morning. Sto- 1ies oi Schefiela’s brutality and threats made by him against the lives of his wife and family were told by half adozen wit- nesses and they show that Mrs. Scho- field’s married life bad been an unhappy ouneand fuil of drudgery and fear. Tue evidence to-day made a good impre:sion on the crowded courtroom und the opin- ion was freely expressed by spectators that Dutcher would be acquitted. Datch- er watched the witnesses closely and he brightened up and evinced great interest as the stories of Schofield’s brutality were related. Mrs. Schofield resumed the stand at the opening of court. She said she was mar- ried to Schofield thirteen years ago. At tbhat time he had four children and she had one, Irving Mann. As a result of her union three children were born. Mrs. Schotield said that Schofield was idle and indolent, and that she and Irving Mann, with sometimes a hired man, did all the work about the place. She said she dug posthules and did harder work, while Schotield would sit around and do the bossing. On cross-examination she related the story of the killing and the quarrel the nizht before. She said she did not see Irving Manun around the house after the row ths night before the murder. She said Irving Mann was standing near her when Dutcher fired through the door at her husband. She said she had not spoken to her son or Dutcher since her arrest on August 8. She was taken 1o the ranch on the fol- lowing Sunday to look after things by Deputy Sneriff Tennant. Oa the return she reiterated the stery of a heavily bearded man killing Schoffeld, not know- ing that Irving Mann had confessed to Datcher kliling his stepfather. Mrs. Bchofield was then excused. On leaving the stanud she stopped and kissea her sister, Mrs. Wright, and some other lady friends before being taken back to jau. Louis Pinard, Justice of the Peace at Madrone, was next called. He testified as to the warrants of arrest for Mrs, Scho- field and Dutcher being issued out of his court. C. B, Cox, who resides near Aptos, tes- tified that ne knew Schofield and his w:fs about sixteen years. He sdid he had heard Schofield threaten the life of his wife. At Banta Cruz, in April, 1888, the deceased had threatened to kill nis wife, It was at the dinner tavle and Schofield told his wife he would cut her heart out. In Augustof the same year Schofield had a dispuie with his wife in a corral and in the presence of witness said: “I will cut our — black heart out.”” He said he oarded with the Scholields at the time the ihreats were made. W. B. Freels, residing near Watsonville, had known Schotield for eighteen years. He saw Schofield in Watsonville four days before he was kiiled.

Tom was for years boxing instructor of the Sacramento Athletic Club and hasa splendid record as a referee in many con- tests of that character. His selection wouid be a wise one and insure -a larce attendance for the event from the Sacra- mentoconiingent. E:an & Hanlon, prominent promotors of sport 1n this part of the State, have pur- chased the interest of the Sacramento Coursing Park Association, a corporation, in the coursing field at Agricultural Park. They open Sunday, October 30, with an event which promises to eclipse anything ever attempted in a conrsing meet outside of San Francisco. They will secure the services of a San Francisco judge. The entries will include many San Francisco dogs, and the purses offered will be pro- portioned to the magnitude of the meet- ing. Next Saturday will be the ovening in Northern Californiaof the football season. The game will be between the Sacramento High School and the Woodlands. The capital city boys have been doing good practice work, and a great game is ex- pected. N DAY AT LOUISVILLE, Scores Easy Fictories With the Entries o/ the Viilage Farm Stable.

CONCERNED WITH BIG EXPENDITURES Secretary Long Urges Greater Economy in Naval Work. Commandants Authorizad to Order Repairs Oniy in Cases of Actual 2 Necessity. Epecial Dispatch to THE CALL. WASHINGTON, Osr. 21 — Secretary Long lia§ become deeply concerned with what he regards as the very large ex- penditure made by the Navy Department on account of repairs to ships. In spe- clai cases these allotmenis of funds are particularly heavy and out of all propor- tion, in the opiniou of the Secretary, to what they shonid be. Itis feit to be sin- gular that within a few weeks after the commissioning of a brand-new ship snhe shouid be tied to a wharf in the navy-vard for extensivealterations, under the - guise of repairs, These changes, for they.are not repairs in the true sense, are made on the suggestion of various officers, and the sum total of the expenditures on that ac- cou nt Lhas grown to be so large that Secre- tary Long has been impelled to issue a circular for the guiaance of all officers con- cerned. Itsays: “The deparfment finding that the ex- pend itures for repairs to vessels in com- mission, especially those on the home stations, is excessive, enjoins upon alil persons having duties to perform in con- nection iberewith the exercise of strict economy and careful compliance with the nayy regulations relating to pieservation and repairs of ships. “Naval constructors and steam engineers will exercise the utmost care in estimates for the cost of labor uud reducing the act- ual expenses therefor, which often appear to be unduly disproportionate to the ma- terial on whichlabor is done, and much in ex: of like cost in private business es- tablishments.” The regulaiions give commandants au- thority to order repairs only in cases of actual emergency. To the end that each vessel may perform the greatest possible amount of actual service it will be the policy of the department to utilize ships in commission to their fullest extent us they are built, and to limit alterations on them while in commission to such as are necessary to secure efliciency, NAYLEADTO - A SENSATIUN) Peculiar Phase in the Petition in Behalf of Ebanks. Louis H. Ward Alleged That the Sentencs Imposed Was a Double One. Statements Not Based on Actual Facts That Wiil Cause Grand Jury Investigation. Special Dispatch to THE CALL SAN DIEGO, Oct. 21.—A discovery was made tc-day of another phase of the Ebanks case that is iikely to cause a sen- sation in San Francisco. Joseph Japheth Ebanks, sentenced by Judee Torrance of this county to hang on October 8, was saved from the gallows temporarily by an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, The petition is signed by one Loufs H. Ward on behalf of the convicted mur- derer., Ward swears positively and w!l% out the usual reservation of “informatic/ and belief” that the original sentence im- posed upon Ebanks was a double one. His exact languages: ¥ “The Judge of the Superior Court in and - for the county of San Diego, State of Cali- tornia, pretended to and did make an al- leged judgment wherein and whereby said JosephJaphethEbanks was to be delivered to the warden at. the State prison of Cali- fornia at 8an Quentin, 1o be impnsongd in close confinement at said S.ate prison and on a day to be nnmgd in a warrant thereafter to be issued to suffer the death penalty; that said al- leged judgment, based on. allezed pro- ceedings withcut authority of law, was a double judgment, or sentence, viz.: Con- finement in the State prison of said State of California and ~the sentence of deaib.” The petitioner then goes on to make the point that this alleged double sen- tence is contrary to the constitution of ihe United States, and that, therefore, Ebanks is entitled to his libertv. A carefal perusal of the aileged double judzment or sentence fails to reveal a word about ‘‘imprisonment” or ‘‘close confinement.” Lawyers whose attention had been called to the matter were astonished that Ward should have placed bimself in such a position. It is learned that steps will be taken to bring the matter before the Federal Grand Jury at San Francisco for investigation. Attorney Eugene Deuprey of Sun Fran- cisco acted on behalf of Ebanks in the mat- ter of the application for a writ. Atiorney Deuprey said last evening: “This has been dawn up in the usual form where we have supposed that the conditions are the same as govern the Allender case. If the diiference is palp- able, as the parties may think, they have ihe privilege of showing this difference. This is done merely as a matter of form. Iam not the attorney of record in the case, but acting ior Judge Aitken, The entire record in the case was not o b had and all that can be said in regard to the matter is that we are acting under the usual rule and following out a usual form where existing conditions are the same.
